Strengthening Local Climate Resilience through Synecoculture in Northern Cameroon - UNEP releases a video highlighting project achievements
The United Nations Environment Programme – Climate Technology Centre and Network (UNEP-CTCN) has published a short video featuring the implementation of Synecoculture in Northern Cameroon:
Supported by UNEP-CTCN from August 2024 to October 2025, this project has made remarkable progress. It has engaged 200 producers, reached 480 local consumers, and trained 830 people in Synecoculture practices in the sensitive border area near Chad, transforming the infertile dry season into a productive period and empowering women.

The project is led by Ms. Ruth Langsi, who previously participated in the African Synecoculture Symposia organized by CARFS and supported by Sony CSL, UniTwin UNESCO, and local governments. Building on these experiences, she founded the NGO Association Camerounaise pour la Promotion de la Synécoculture (ACPS) to continue supporting livelihoods and environmental regeneration in Central Africa:
